Her compassionate dark eyes are
like fish, nay fishes heightening the beauty of her rightly proportioned round
face with broad forehead, resting on fully grown cheeks, separated by well cut
nose, lit by red lips, standing on beautiful cone like chin. The name Meenakshi
given at her christening ceremony is quite appropriate. She was named so, on
account of the fish shaped eyes that thrilled her parents at first sight. Sure,
such an august goddess must have awesome past . A little flash back is necessity, at this
stage.
Now
begins the legend of Mother Meenakshi, Malayadwaja who succeeded to the throne
after an illustrious ruler was a brave king, but was without issues. He
performed a great yagna along with his Dharmapatni Kanchanmala for santhana
prapti. And at the end of it, a three summer old girl rose up from the
sacrificial pit. She was lovely and attractive with a difference. She had three
breasts instead of two, common to
females. To the despaired couple, a divine voice informed that the third breast
would disappear, when she would be seen by her life partner Comforted parents
brought her up fondly as prince and taught all the arts of warfare.
